About this property

Carlton Gates - Willamette Valley Luxury Vacation Rental

Step into an Oasis of style, comfort and privacy in the heart of this most charming wine country.

Perhaps the most ideal location in the Willamette Valley for couples, families and friends visiting Wine Country. Inspired by award winning designer Kim Morris of Morris Design, Inc., Carlton Gates is unlike any accommodation in the area.
Not remotely situated, Carlton Gates is in the middle of everything yet secluded from everyone. Within walking (or biking!) distance of charming downtown Carlton's many Tasting Rooms and new Swimming Pool while still centrally located to area Wineries and Scenic Vineyards.

Featuring a spacious kitchen with large island and gas fireplace for guests to gather round that opens to the Great Room where good company continues among friends. Have an elegant dinner together in the dining room with built in buffet and then move outdoors to enjoy two patio areas each with their own firepit. Feeling contemplative?....take a stroll around the back courtyard or enjoy a bottle of wine in the corner Adirondack Settee under a Blue Spruce.

If your group wants to enjoy a movie in the theater, it will feel like their own private screening with a 70 inch screen and surround sound. When it's time for bed, you can go your separate ways into two Master Suites, Guest Bedroom and Second Guest Bedroom. Two additional guests are accommodated on a comfy pullout sofa sleeper in the theater. The Two Master Suites and First Guest Bedroom each have their own outside private sitting area with bistro table and chairs.

Property was very nice. Loved the layout and the multiple seating areas depending on whether you are looking for privacy or for being together. Management contact was immediately responsive to questions while on property and someone was on site within the hour when we needed help. From the description I thought this was a pre-planned, enclosed community of houses that included a pool and would be easy to bike around. I never saw a pool (it was too cold the days we were there anyway) and I wouldn’t have felt safe biking into town on such a busy road/highway. But the walk to town was easily doable by everyone in our group. Overall, a great property for our group that was more generous than most with availability of coffee, spices, oils, sweeteners so you don’t have to go to the store for every little thing. We would stay here again.

Perfect Wine Weekend Location

Such a perfect home to spend the weekend with friends! We had a wine weekend to celebrate a friend getting married and this home was the perfect location for us. Close to so many great wineries and the home itself was perfect. Lots of space to relax after a long day wine tasting and loved that we could all gather around the island and chat! Will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful location and accommodations

Four of us took our first trip to Oregon wine country. We had a fantastic trip. We were impressed with the incredible scenery from the time we left Portland. The home was exactly as the listing showed. It was comfortable and roomy. The location was perfect. We walked into town daily for meals. We will be back.

Great House For Large Group

We love this house! The space is perfect for large groups. The kitchen is the natural gathering space, as is the living room. The gas fireplace is perfect. Each room offers private space when needed. The location is great. I can’t say enough about the house.

Short Visit to Oregon

The house was spacious, ideally located and extremely clean. The yard had numerous places to sit and enjoy the peaceful mornings and evenings. We spent 3 days at the house from which we took trips to the beach, waterfalls and numerous wineries. If we decide to visit this area again, we would hope to be able to obtain the same listing.

Great visit

We loved our stay. The only problem we had was that my husband has trouble walking and uses a walker. It was a little frustrating having the step down out of every door. Having the city pool so close was a big attraction for my granddaughters.
